russia, of course, we are also talking about china, and iran, and other theaters of action. of course, in my plan we are talking about nato, we are talking about the sovereignty of ukraine over its territories, we need to bring the crimean declaration into effect again, which is very often forgotten, and we did it during. trump's row. everyone had a vision of what to do next. yes, as if they see some signals from moscow and a readiness to speak. i, for example, do not really see these signals, well, but less so. this is a slightly different topic. inside our country, we are ready to compromise with russianness in some formats. and we expect uncompromisingness from our partners, only money, weapons and support as much as we need it. and... in order to immediately

be accepted into nato and into the european union, we also joined and hoped for some preferences from that, forgetting that these are also responsibilities that will be imposed on us. somehow, all this does not fit in my head, although in the average ukrainian i understand that it can, and andrii here, it is probably worth talking about the general adequacy of vision and behavior us, under three years of large-scale invasion and actually. 10 years of war with the russian federation, haven't we washed our eyes? well, if we talk about support there and about some plans, well, there are also certain opinions, actually, and we've said it before, that the world doesn't quite understand what russia is, uh, and the world doesn't quite understand how russia works , maybe aware, maybe they just have a different kind of vision. in relation to all this, the world

today does not quite understand that this is not just a war for territory, that it is a war in general existential for the existence of ukrainian statehood, for the existence of ukrainianness, for the existence of the armed forces of ukraine, for the existence of our flag, our coat of arms, our history, our language, for the existence, in principle , of the civilized dimension in which our country is located. and when someone thinks that the issue is in the territories, then in my opinion, the issue is not only in the territories, the issue is that russia needs to destroy ukraine as much as possible, reduce the population of ukraine, expel the population abroad, expel, yes, expel the population for the border, to humiliate, to separate, they have always done it, but now they are doing it with the help of already certain... military methods, and

this story looks very sad, for example, with the provision of the same missiles, so long-range, although in fact, these are not long-range missiles, long-range missiles are those missiles that russia uses, for example, from the tu-95, which fly 1,500 or 200 meters kilometers, in fact, long-range missiles are, for example, iskander k or iskander m, which beats there for 500-600 km. we are talking about only about 300 km, that is, it is also about understanding, understanding that the world also makes certain compromises with evil, here we are talking about the fact that in ukraine they make certain compromises with evil and have always made certain compromises with evil, if you remember how many compromises we made during the 90s, zero, 10 years, even the last years, how many, how many constant compromises there were, how many there were. of russian in

ukraine, we did not understand how much, the politicians did not want to understand how much we allowed this russian influence here, how much the world, by the way, allowed russian influence, how much all of europe was in fact on this russian hook, germany, it is elementary to mention germany, which in fact was on the russian hook all this time, but can we be sure that, for example, in the same germany there are still no politicians who would like to return to... conditional the russian hook, right now in, right now in east germany, the former gdr, the political forces are winning there, the alternative for germany, and another political force, the left, it's called sara's alliance, i forgot the name, i'm sorry, for example, these political forces, which recruit 50%, in fact, of the total electoral picture in east germany, they.

to return to this russian hook again. and yes, if you actually buy, you can see many, many, many countries that are not ready to tear up today. its final connections with such a concept as russia. we talked a lot last time about this festival and this film russians at war. in fact, by the way, it should still be shown tomorrow. all the same. according to the latest news, however, it is no longer within the framework of the festival, within the framework of some separate event. that is, this is it again, it's about these compromises, which... i'm ready to tolerate and ready to build bridges with this, even after everything that russia has done, ugh, i remember the compromises that were made with hitler's germany, so the 37th, the 38th, 39th years, yes, these were all, these were

all years of compromises, three years of compromises with absolute evil, dozens of years of compromises with the absolute evil of the soviet union. which was no better than hitler's germany, which also killed millions and millions of people in constabularies, which destroyed targets of nationality, who destroyed entire nationalities, who resettled people, who destroyed people, and also, i apologize, there was a compromise with them, i just mean that we have to understand that the key to saving our country . ourselves , first of all, lies in ourselves, that is, we ourselves must understand that first of all we must take care of ourselves, and then someone else, ugh, but of course it is sad for us to observe how, unfortunately, unfortunately,

the world still does not understand what ukraine should get today, and where ukraine should be, v what coordinate system, don't be afraid of russia, don't... don't be afraid of their so-called red button, don't be afraid that a drone will fly somewhere, uh, don't be afraid that putin will threaten someone, because if you are so afraid, well, i'm sorry, at such rates , the russian army can generally stand somewhere under poland, if that is what we are afraid of, that is, it is a question for discussion, it is a question of what we and the world will compromise with absolute evil. not realizing that this is absolute evil, or tolerance, which is basically very, well, let's say this, a feature of western civilized societies, tolerance for everything, and, unfortunately, very often misunderstanding that behind

white and fluffy can hide bloody and toothy, by the way, about such people, you mentioned the movie that you and i discussed as recently as last monday, i cannot but quote a simple guest. lord, one of the russian oppositionists, bright, it is true, also the godmother of putin, if i am not mistaken, sabchak writes: "a russian documentarian cannot show his film at the festival, shot on the russian side with an anti-war message, but a ukrainian documentarian can, as it is, it turns out that it is possible, and the entire space has been taken over by this, propaganda has been thriving for a long time and firmly on..." the soil of culture both there and here, no one is ashamed anymore, everyone already understood everything, well, that is, even the most comforting, well , it’s not really like that, it’s already ardent, but russian oppositionists will accuse ukraine of propaganda, simply because ukraine

shows how it really happens, how successfully, that’s up to cultural commentators to analyze, but less with that, defended people who obviously cooperates with the russian military and the russian special services, they are doing something to whiten all this shit, well, they have it, they have it, and it’s still not considered something bad in the world, well, that is, trying to see a spoonful of honey in a barrel of lain, it’s me really surprising, surprising among ukrainians and surprising among people who live outside our borders, another point of view. from their point of view, but the problem is that this point of view never allows you to have other points of view, it's great and for confirmation, that's just the thesis: the truth

always somewhere in the middle, it is not somewhere in the middle, the truth is where the truth is, well, you understand, you don’t need to look for a place for it, you should just identify it, that evil is evil, and those who resist evil are obviously the polar opposite, well, let's talk frankly and be honest with ourselves and not try. gaslighting, probably, other people, sometimes i think that i 'm being gaslighted, by the way, what is gaslighting, it's when you say, something is wrong here, and you objectively justify it, they tell you, but no, you don't care it seems that you are not normal at all, that you think like that, sometimes i think that ukrainians are being gaslighted when we really talk about the fact that there is a russian federation, and the only thing that is not enough for us is to turn our clocks around, in fact, the very end.. it must be clearly said that we, as citizens

of ukraine, need to do everything in order not to repeat the fate of georgia. yes. we must do everything to explain to everyone that ukraine is not a place for russian narratives. and ukraine is not a place to compromise with a murderer. ukraine is it no place to talk and... you're a murderer. ukraine is a country that should be independent and self-sufficient in all its manifestations, both now and in the future. because, if we allow even the smallest compromises, russia will continue its hybrid war. she has done it and she will do it. she's got the money, and unfortunately, as we can see, she'll have it for now. ugh. and as long as russia exists, we will... watch how it will try

to influence our state culturally, politically, economically, in any way. cheers vigilant, and let's be united around the fact that ukraine should defeat the russians, both at the front and in the rear, and andrii smoly and i will try to open the eyes of these russian, very often attractive shells so that you do not were deceived. we have the results of a vote on whether a pro-russian revenge similar to the georgian one is possible in ukraine, and 43% of those who called us believe that it is quite likely, 57% are more optimistic, there is something to think about, i think we will do it, we thank you we thank you for who voted, for being with us on the live air, khrystyna yatskiv and andriy smoliy, a new week and see you, glory to ukraine. september discounts on lactial,

a moment. today it became known that the russian dictator vladimir putin issued a decree to increase the size of the russian army, now it will number 2 million 389 thousand people, of which 1.5 million are military personnel, which actually means that the number of the russian army will increase by 180,000 soldiers. the document comes into force on december 1 and what it is about, what conclusions can be drawn. currently, russia is suffering significant losses on the battlefield, and it seems that the pace of recruitment for money is not keeping up with the needs of the russian military leadership, which should be more than 30 thousand of those contract soldiers

who are recruited every month and for this reason , the costs have increased significantly. for the payment of these compensations for contractors, it is known that in order to recruit them, one-time fees for signing a contract have increased in many regions of the russian federation, to almost 1 million rubles, that is up to 10 thousand dollars, and in moscow even up to 2 million, but in any in any case, the pace of collecting these dead souls is all the same, let's say, not satisfying. needs and now there is an extremely large number of losses on the part of the enemy, and now it can be assumed that this seems to be related to an attempt to increase the number of these contract workers, i think that this is not quite the case, first of all we we are talking about the fact that if there is an increase in the number of the russian army, then

it will be felt only in the first half of the 25th year, because this decree will allow... first of all to increase the draft, now 150,000 are drafted there every six months, now, if there is an increase in the number for 180,000, i think that the draft will be increased, and in any case, russia does not have time to quickly provide this new personnel with equipment and commanders, and most likely the chosen rate is for such a gradual increase in numbers. how will this affect the situation on the front line, this will affect, i repeat, only from next year, but also now. the situation in many parts of the front is extremely difficult, because we know that at least 600,000 russian contingents are currently located on the territory of ukraine and are scheduled to do so by the end of the year. it is possible to increase this number to somewhere under 700-8000, which, of course , will also put pressure on our defense line, and here the main thing is to have countermeasures due to

the more effective use of our forces and means due to adequate assistance from our partners, who should increase the number of weapons, ammunition, and when will it finally be possible to solve this strange issue with the ban on the use of long-range weapon systems for strikes. on objects within russian territory, and in any case we must understand that one way or another it affects the dynamics on the front line. and among many directions, i will single out two, first i will start with the kurdish region, which is always in the center of media attention, in the center of military attention, what is happening there now. in any case, we now know that… during the week, the russian army is trying to carry out counterattack actions, at this time the armed forces are also reacting to

the enemy's reaction, now we know that the enemy has carried out counterattacks using marine infantry brigades and a parachute regiment, a certain advance and capture of certain areas, primarily around snago itself . and attempts to advance further in the direction of suja, but the enemy absolutely cannot succeed in this advance, moreover , our units, which have entered the territory of kurtskaya in three places, are now carrying out counterattacking actions oblast, this is just from a new path, a fun one , and it's another populated place, where offensive actions are currently taking place to ensure a blow to the rear. by those groups that carry out the offensive, the eastern offensive, and in any case everything will depend on the balance of the power of the means, the situation is extremely dynamic, so we will monitor the information, although the number of

videos and data from this direction is extremely limited, so in any case, all conclusions so far are of such a preliminary nature. and then we will talk about another area where active hostilities are taking place, and the commander of the fourth mechanized battalion joins us. of the presidential brigade named after bogtan khmelnytskyi with the call sign suma. mr. officer, i congratulate you, i am glad to see and hear you. good evening, congratulations. i would like you to tell us a little bit about the situation in the area of ​​responsibility of your battalion, we know that actually in front of you is the section of makiivka. and i was somewhat intrigued by your correspondence with our guest yesterday. by the editor, where you said that in two months more than 1000 enemies were destroyed, and this is an absolute record. tell in more detail what happening in your

battalion's area of ​​responsibility? well, in the area of ​​responsibility of my battalion, in principle, as in many directions, the most tense situation is due to the number of enemy infantry that is advancing, intending to advance in all directions, it is possible that our direction will be formed during... months these streams are advancing alternately along two, three, four enemy infantry in our direction, and this systematically for 2.5 months, that is, there is no break, but there is a constant influx, influx, influx, influx, accumulation, assault, an influx of accumulation, an assault, so let's say so, pressure... not falling in our direction directly, mainly it is infantry, there are assaults on motorcycles, there are assaults on vehicles, but this happens a little less often, mainly

a pure assault by infantry, i looked at the dynamics of changes in your area based on dipstate maps, and there was such a situation that somewhere on the 11th-12th there was some, well, it was certain... the advance of the enemy in makiivka right to the zherebets river, which was four days ago happened? well, perhaps the largest accumulation was their concentration the arrival of fresh forces, its new group, which was accumulated for use along the entire front, let's say so, and therefore all directions were used in many units. where sometimes even with equipment, and apparently this played a little decisive role in the direction of this offensive three to four days behind, which took place

in such an assault... but according to the information, it is very different, it happens that a very large replenishment arrives there in a week, it happens like this , that in two weeks, but the personnel of the enemy infantry is constantly being updated, which is advancing, testing different directions, along assaults, today there may be one, and tomorrow it may change tactics, so the attempts... are not appreciated, the constant build-up of enemy infantry takes place in different directions, let's say so, so probably their large accumulation, fresh supply, played a decisive role, but some he doesn't even have time to serve a week, well, there are records, for example, in the military records, that someone enlisted there on the first of august, and died on the eighth, so the disorientation,

let's say, of the enemy's personnel. and not understanding the situation where they are pushed, devaluation on the part of the commanders of human life, and accordingly involved a great impact and the advance of enemy infantry in our direction, but opposite you there is both a tank regiment and a motorized infantry regiment, but in any case armored vehicles are used quite limited, because as i understand, the stallion river separates them and there is not much sense with tanks there. to obey, and then what about armored vehicles, how is it used by the enemy in general? well, it is mainly used by small groups in order to bring the infantry to the shortest possible distance distance, and in order for the infantry to hasten and continue to carry out tasks in their directions, but let's say so, the infantry can advance hostilely, let's say so, and in a larger order, and gradually accumulate at points,

let's say. so, most of all, in my understanding, this is done with the subtext in order to somewhat disorient and demoralize the units of the armed forces of ukraine, that is why they sometimes go on an assault and on infantry, such a carriage, let's say, infantry directly to the front edge for advancing, for rushing, maybe that's why that they did not have time to do this, they were discovered on the approaches earlier and... or maybe because they have such tactics and they directly load the infantry at a long distance for disorientation, for their accelerated movement and speed of action in the event of storming our positions . you are a battalion commander - this is an extremely responsible position, and i wanted to hear from you in such a human language that the most difficult things are in your duties as a commander

during the conduct and defense... what is the most difficult, what decisions are difficult to make? well, let's say, this is probably the most difficult decision distribute in equal parts, and assess the situation where the enemy infantry will advance, that is, where it considers a weak target and where it will accumulate a quantitative composition. its quantitative personnel, therefore it is probably the most difficult to determine the priority direction for the enemy infantry, and to make a decision exactly in which direction to use all forces and means, such as mortar calculations, fpv drones, drones, conventional drops, in order to secure the infantry, it is important not to make a mistake in order not to focus all attention in one place, c

skip elsewhere. therefore, let's say, the difficulty lies in making decisions, directly throughout, across the entire width of the front, to distribute in equal shares the forces and means for defeating the stopping of the infantry, so there must also be round-the-clock reflection, analysis of the enemy's actions, intelligence data, combat the order of one's units, everything plays a very important role here, and in this... there is probably the greatest difficulty, let's say, the psychological one of correct distribution and quick reaction to stop and destroy the enemy infantry, well, for me, probably yes, but when we there, if we do not open the secret, if we open there the battle statutes for the battalion and your line of defense, surely now the line of defense that you hold is much wider than what was foreseen by the former or current statutes of the armed forces

and ? well, i will tell you so, in principle.
